Brothers on the Hunt: How We Build Strong Connections with New In-Laws

What can you learn about your new brother-in-law while spending hours in a hunting blind? In this episode, we introduce the newest member of the family, Christian Catalayud, as he shares how he's growing a relationship with his new brothers-in-law, Chris Alessi and Chris Muina.

Christian married Gaby Alessi in October 2025, and over the first few months of their marriage, Christian has been introduced to the blessed but sometimes topsy-turvy world of being married into ministry.  

You'll hear a candid conversation about what it’s like to be welcomed into the Alessi family—especially through marriage and brotherhood. With fresh stories from Thanksgiving hunting trips, heartfelt moments of bonding in hunting blinds and stands, and plenty of laughs, the guys reveal the unique dynamic that unfolds when new members join a tight-knit family.

From hilarious hunting adventures to navigating the ups and downs of family traditions, this episode offers real insight into the importance of honor, mutual respect, and intentional connection. Plus, Christian opens up about becoming the newest brother-in-law and what it’s like having your pastor become your father-in-law.

 Whether you’re part of a big family or just trying to create meaningful relationships, you’ll find plenty to relate to here—because, as always, family is everybody’s business!
